Fig. 8

Characterization of the cross-sectional areas of muscle and intermuscular adipose tissues (IMATs) in the middle thigh femur of prediabetic rats. Green regions, skeletal muscles of Wistar rats; yellow regions, IMATs. CON control, EMA combined therapies + compound-c, EMC combined therapies, EXE moderate exercise, MET metformin, PRE prediabetes. The data shown represent the mean ± the standard error of the mean (n = 6/group). ap < 0.05 vs. CON group; bp < 0.05 vs. PRE group; cp < 0.05 vs. MET group; dp < 0.05 vs. EXE group; ep < 0.05 vs. EMA group; fp < 0.05, vs. EMC group
